Hopefully you have made the right choices about what needs to come in front of your camera. Once the light has hit the sensor, you are at the mercy of what the camera circuitry decides to pass on as footage.

Uncompressed Footage

A second type of classification is:

RAW Footage

Debayered/Raster Footage
